Everytime I type some text, it is overwriting what I have typed. I assume that the mode is set to overwriting,

I want to insert the text not overwrite it, but I can't disable it because my insert key is mixed up with my delete key so everytime I enter insert to disable the overwrite mode, it just delete what I type.

So how to disable this?

I'm using centOS.. and it seems that my problem is only related to Netbeans because when I type here, it is set to insert mode.. but in Netbeans, it just overwrites the codes! help!

I don't know about CENTos, but I know that there are 2 insert keys on your keyboard. The second one is on the keypad at the right. Disable numlock, then press 0. This should turn insert mode on or off.
